Eighteenth Annual Stavros Niarchos Foundation Lecture and Dinner 7 ABOUT THE PETERSON INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS The Peterson Institute for International Economics (PIIE) is a private, nonpartisan nonprofit institution committed to rigorous, intellectually open, and indepth study and discussion of international economic policy. Its purpose is to identify and analyze important issues to make globalization beneficial and sustainable for the people of the United States and the world and to develop and communicate practical new approaches for dealing with challenges confronting the global economy. The Institute attempts to anticipate emerging issues and to be ready with practical ideas, presented in useful, accessible formats, to inform and shape public debate. Its audience includes government officials and legislators, business and labor leaders, management and staff at international organizations, university-based scholars and their stu- dents, experts at other research institutions and nongovernmental organizations, the media, and the public at large. Our staff of about 70 includes 20 senior researchers, as well as 15 non- resident fellows, all distinguished for their combination of research expertise and policy experience. The Institute’s agenda empha- sizes international trade and investment, international finance and exchange rates, macroeconomic policy and crisis response, globaliza- tion and human welfare, and studies of key economic regions. Insti- tute staff have unique expertise on the major economies with special reference to Brazil, China, the European Union, Japan, Korea, and the Middle East, as well as the United States itself and its neighbors Canada and Mexico. Current priorities include: n improving macroeconomic policy after the global financial crisis; n truth telling about the benefits of globalization and the costs of closed economies; n the rebalancing of China’s growth model and its impact on the world economy; n globalization, inequality, and labor market adjustment; n exchange rate interventions and reform of the international mon- etary system; 8 Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore n regional trade agreements and multinational investment, notably the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP); n practical growth models for Europe, Japan, and the United States; and n financial stability, including cost-benefit analysis of global regula- tion. Our research has provided some of the intellectual foundations for many major international policy initiatives of the past three and a half decades: n reforms of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), initiated by the G-20 in 2009–10; n reform of US sanctions policy; n quantitative easing and adapting monetary policy to a low inter- est rate world; n creation of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum and the TPP initiative; n initiation and implementation of the Strategic and Economic Dia- logue between the United States and China; n the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other US free trade agreements (notably with Korea); n adoption of international banking standards and broader financial regulatory reforms; n countercyclical fiscal policy and increased female labor force par- ticipation in Japan; n the restoration of trade promotion authority in the United States; and n linking fiscal stimulus and structural reform in the euro area. Other influential analyses have addressed: n economic reform in the European Union, the former communist countries, and Latin America (including what became known as the Washington Consensus); n foreign direct investment into and out of the United States; n the sources, benefits, and growth of services trade; n the impact on wages of trade liberalization; n reconsidering the “Resource Curse” and the “Middle Income Trap;” n the links between gender and diversity and corporate profitabili- ty; and n measures of currency manipulation and of equilibrium exchange rates. Our award-winning building in Washington, DC houses an accom- plished team of researchers, fellows, and professional staff. We some- times partner with independent think tanks in China, Europe, and elsewhere to broaden the scope of our research and outreach. Institute events bring together a diverse array of international spe- cialists from government, business, and the policy community to engage in constructive dialogue. We create audiovisual materials, interactive graphics, and social media content to deepen the public’s Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore understand ingEighteenth of the issues. Annual Stavros Niarchos Foundation Lecture and Dinner 9 PRAISE FOR THE PETERSON INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS “There is no institute anywhere in the world…that comes close to having the breadth and depth that the [Peterson] Institute for International Economics has in its devotion to international economic studies all over the world.” Stuart Eizenstat, FORMER DEPUTY SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY AND UNDERSECRETARY OF STATE “No one has led analysis and discussion of international economics like the Peterson Institute.” Tom Keene, HOST OF BLOOMBERG TELEVISION’S SURVEILLANCE “…research institutes vary widely in both quality and honesty.

  • RI Shows Off Culture in Davos
    RI shows off culture in Davos Linda Yulisman, The Jakarta Post, Davos | Headlines | Sat, January 25 2014, 10:59 AM White summit: The view of Davos with the Congress Center in the early morning of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2014 in Davos, Switzerland, on Friday. The annual Davos gathering, which draws thousands of the world’s most powerful people, will welcome more than 40 heads of state and government this year to focus on questions about the world’s future, organizers said on Wednesday. (Reuters/Ruben Sprich) Indonesia is using “cultural diplomacy” to promote trade, investment and tourism at the prestigious annual World Economic Forum (WEF), running from Wednesday until Saturday in Davos, Switzerland. The forum is being attended by 2,500 officials and captains of industries from around the world. The Trade Ministry teamed up with the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) to hold an Indonesia Night at the Morosani Schweizerhoff Hotel on Thursday to display the country’s rich cultural heritage through cuisine, fashion, jewelry, dance, traditional cosmetics and spa, and other arts products. The event, under the banner of Remarkable Indonesia, was attended by more than 300 officials and business executives, including WEF founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab, Finance Minister Chatib Basri, Tourism and Creative Economy Minister Mari Elka Pangestu, Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, BKPM chief Mahendra Siregar and Bank Indonesia Governor Agus Martowardojo.

  • Chineseness Is in the Eye of the Beholder
    CHINESENESS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHINESE INDONESIAN AFTER REFORMASI A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Setefanus Suprajitno August 2013 © 2013 Setefanus Suprajitno CHINESENESS IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER: THE TRANSFORMATION OF CHINESE INDONESIAN AFTER REFORMASI Setefanus Suprajitno, Ph.D. Cornell University 2013 My dissertation is an ethnographic project documenting the transformation of Chinese Indonesians post-Suharto Indonesia. When Suharto was in power (1966–1998), the Chinese in his country were not considered an ethnicity with the freedom to maintain their ethnic and cultural heritage. They were marked as “the Other” by various policies and measures that suppressed their cultural markers of ethnicity. The regime banned Chinese language education, prohibited Chinese media, and dissolved Chinese organizations, an effort that many Chinese thought of as destroying the Chinese community in Indonesia as they were seen as the three pillars that sustained the Chinese community. Those efforts were intended to make the Chinese more Indonesian; ironically, they highlighted the otherness of Chinese Indonesians and made them perpetual foreigners who remained the object of discrimination despite their total assimilation into Indonesian society. However, the May 1998 anti-Chinese riot that led to the fall of the New Order regime brought about political and social reform. The three pillars of the Chinese community were restored. This restoration produces new possibilities for Chinese cultural expression. Situated in this area of anthropological inquiry, my dissertation examines how the Chinese negotiate and formulate these identities, and how they ascribe meaning to Chinese identities.

By its 100th year as an independent nation in 2045, Indonesia aims to become a high-income country and among the top 10 largest economies in the world. 08 To achieve its goals, Indonesia wants to move away from being an economy heavily dependent on raw commodity exports and consumption, toward one driven by value-added manufacturing and modern services, fueled by heavy infrastructure development and increased domestic and foreign investment.
